| | Benny Goodman Sing, Sing, Sing CD Benny Goodman Discography of CDs
A fine all-around single CD, it sums up Benny Goodman's 1935-1939 period on Victor. During this time BG became jazz's and popular music's number one attraction, achieving this impressive feat without watering down his music or emphasizing novelties. All Goodman did was play the music he loved and the audience magically responded and started dancing. This set has most of BG's better-known recordings from the era, including "King Porter Stomp," "Goody Goody," "Roll 'Em," "Don't Be That Way," "One O'Clock Jump," and, of course, the memorable "Sing, Sing, Sing"; it serves as a good beginning for those listeners just beginning to explore Benny Goodman's music. ~ Scott Yanow

Sing, Sing, Sing music CDs
$12.89
Henry Threadgill has, in the framework of abstract music, been a stalwart, spontaneous composer whose personal sound is near impossible to identify, or certainly codify. A listener who enjoys very challenged music would have difficulty in discerning what is made up or written out. The elusive nature of Threadgill's kind of progressive jazz has to confound even those most oriented to his quirky pieces. Where the quintet Zooid lands in this quirky quandary of pegging a signature sound is subject to guesswork, but it definitely has its own brand of concentrated cohesion. Between Threadgill's scattershot flute and alto sax, the sleek tuba or trombone work of Jose Davila, and Liberty Ellman's thorny electric guitar, sparks are always flying about in a collective discourse that is completely unpredictable. Electric bass guitarist Stomu Takieshi and drummer Elliot Humberto Kavee are practically secondary in this mix of give-and-take improvisation that needs little rhythmic support or urgency. What seems telepathic or in zig-zag patterns is bursting with colors to the point where those lines are blurred with the virtuosity of these players. Then again, most of the tracks do have a funky underpinning ...

| | Chris Botti In Boston CDs (2009) With DVD
Sing, Sing, Sing CD music
$14.99  
A sequel of sorts to Chris Botti's 2006 PBS special, LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA & SPECIAL GUESTS, the September 2008 event LIVE IN BOSTON found the sartorially splendid cool jazz trumpeter accompanied by the Boston Symphony and a collection of celebrity vocalists. Also available as a DVD, the concert delivers an overview of popular music, with jazz standards like "I've Got You Under My Skin" right alongside "Ave Maria" and Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You." Whether featuring rocker Steven Tyler, AMERICAN IDOL chanteuse Katharine McPhee, or pop-opera superstar Josh Groban, all the tunes are presented in Botti's inimitable, Chet Baker-influenced uber-smooth style.
Chris Botti in Boston features trumpeter Chris Botti along with a bevy of name artists performing live with the Boston Pops Orchestra at Symphony Hall in 2008. Fully documented as a concert film and album, the night is an intimate and soulful birds-eye view of the supple-toned trumpeter who has grown into his role as a virtuoso since his time backing up Sting -- who of course appears here. Perhaps it isn't surprising then the concert is subtly reminiscent of Sting's own classic coming of age concert moment Bring on ...

| | A Small Good Thing Block CD (1997) (Import) Import; United Kingdom
Sing, Sing, Sing CD music
$20.99
Steering further away from the explicit "high lonesome" sonics on Slim Westerns, A Small Good Thing on Block sounds a bit like what a crazed hardcore/jungle dance outfit going through a lengthy, slow comedown would produce. Given that's what the band is anything but makes Block that much more interesting. The sound has the same atmospheric sense of calm and at points unsettling creepiness from earlier releases, but the emphasis on sometimes buried, sometimes more upfront beats takes to the fore here. As a whole, it feels like the aftershocks of something tremendous, like the grooves and loops are all that's left after the bomb hit, floating in the echoing mix. It's quite a gripping effect in all, and all the more impressive that the same three members from Slim Westerns' days were able to tackle this material so well. "Cooling System" makes for an appropriate start, with guest trumpeter Nick Dean adding the occasional flourish (and perhaps betraying a certain sonic inspiration from early Sabres of Paradise as a result). Cuts like "Moving Heat Source" showcase the group's downright spooky ability with sampling: They have a guy named Sheik ...
